The 527th Aggressor Squadron replaced its fleet of F-5E Tigers with F-16Cs and moved from Alconbury to Bentwaters in June 1988, but it had a short existence with its new jets, being inactivated in the summer of 1990. It is the only F-16 unit ever to have been based in the UK. This photo is copyright © Lewis Grant, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
